36 week scan?

Is it normal to get a scan to check positioning or is it usually just to check growth of your fundal height is off? I have an appointment tomorrow and can't remember if the midwife said we'd definitely have one to check positioning or only get one if bubs isn't matching the fundal height? Trying not to get hopes up on a scan unless it's likely.

We had a growth scan at 35 (got in at 34 weeks) which I thought was more just to check the placenta placement and that bub had turned etc. Then had to have another by 38 weeks (done at 36) as a follow up to check if growth was on track. Seems our hospital is doing them as standard now just to check all is ok - fluid, position, placenta, growth etc

I had mine today but it's been booked since 20w due to existing hypertension. They're not standard yet but becoming more common, fingers crossed you get one as standard and get to see bubs, although they are so big and squashed now it doesn't look like much!!

I have one nect week at 36 weeks to check positioning as the report was unclear at my 32 week scan whixh was for growth. I think this is a check for both add my fundal height had significant change. I'm not too worried.

I’ve got a growth scan booked for Wednesday next week (I’ll be 36 weeks and 6 days) I think just as a routine growth scan! Doctor didn’t give me any reason other than they’re wanting to check and make sure all is okay and baby is growing well

My 36w was booked in at the same time as my 20w... they said it was a standard growth scan.
I also had one at 32w though to assess positioning, growth and if my placenta had moved (fortunately it had).
